About

If you have ever wondered how to create distinctive layers of dough separated by butter to make the most tender and flakey pastry for mille feuille, galettes, and pastries in general, this is your chance to learn! 

Learn the classic technique of dough lamination, and tips and tricks for mixing, laminating, and baking puff pastry. Then you'll use your pastry dough for a variety of pastries.

On the menu

  • Milhojas con manjar (Chilean-style mille feuille with dulce de leche).
  • Palmeras playeras (beach-style Chilean palmiers). 
  • Empanadas de queso (cheese empanadas).

Pam Arriagada

Born in Santiago, Chile, but raised in La Serena, right at the southern border of the Atacama desert, prized for having the clearest skies in the world. Her father worked at one of the Astronomical observatories in the area, which made her household quite an experimental one when it came to the food that was being cooked, as foreign ingredients, otherwise impossible to find in a small town in Chile, were constantly smuggled into the Arriagadas’ kitchen by travelling astronomers. Growing up around astronomers led her to eventually pursue a PhD in Astronomy, though she always had a longing for cooking and baking, and every time not spent on her research was spent learning in the kitchen.

After 10 years in academia, and due to life’s twists and turns, she decided to give professional baking a try. While working at a few bakeries around Seattle, she had the opportunity to translate her knowledge as a scientist and home-baker into the professional baking world.
She realized that cooking is like having your own lab right here on Earth and at home.

Science is a discipline that requires us to share knowledge, and Pamela is super thrilled to share everything she’s learned throughout her life as both a scientist and a cook with everyone who takes her classes at the Barn.
